We are indeed proposing to extend the period of unemployment benefits provided by the Employment Service with the approval of the Ministry of Economy and the Civil Service. Today, we have a limit of three months, but we realize that cases can be completely different. Some people will need help from the employment service for a month, while others will need extensive retraining, retraining, and finding a new job
